Community Response Team officers and members of the multiagency countywide gang task force helped detectives locate Ben Garcia, 30, about 10 p.m. Thursday near East Hammer and West lanes, police said. Garcia, a parolee at large, was arrested on suspicion of firearm possession, drug possession, robbery, carjacking, assault with a firearm and other crimes, authorities said.

Last week, authorities arrested Daniel Francis, 25, and Sean Lobosco, 32, on suspicion of numerous crimes, including robbery, carjacking, assault with a firearm, gun possession and drug possession.
